The works of William Shakespeare are often dreaded by students because of the language he uses. "Why didn't he use plain, simple English?" is a question often asked. The answer is, of course, that he did. But the Elizabethan language was different to ours. A few Elizabethan Insults would be handy in this situation. There weren't so many words used during the Elizabethan era. If Shakespeare was looking for descriptive words for cutting Elizabethan insults, and couldn't find any, he made them up. William Shakespeare invented words, and he used them to good effect when it came to Elizabethan Insults.
